[Journée du XIII Vendémiaire, L'an IV. Eglise St. Roch, rue St. Honoré.]
Dessiné par C. Monnet. Gravé par Helman.
Engraving with large margins. Plate: 450 x 280mm (17¾ x 11"). Slight paper tone and surface dirt.
Depiction of the battle which took place between the Royalists and the French Revolutionary Troops on the 13 Vendémiaire Year 4 (5th October 1795), a battle which was to instigate Napoleon Bonaparte's rapid advancement. The Revolutions anti-catholic sentiments created strong anti-revolutionary feelings in western France, feelings which boiled over into an insurrection. The Royalists, supported by British troops, having been victorious in several battles marched on Paris. Royalists within the city began demonstrations which soon turned violent. A young General Bonaparte suceeded in defeating the Royalists, essentially extinguishing the threat to the Revolution, and was promoted to General of the Division.

Serment du Jeu de Paume a Versailles le 19 Juin 1789.
Dessine par C. Monnet. Grave par Helman.
A Paris chez Decrouan Editeur, Rue de Rempart, 4, vis-a-vis le Theatre Francais [n.d., c.1850].
Engraving. 630 x 830mm. Tatty extremities, some foxing.
France’s violent transition from the ancien regime that had nurtured tennis (le jeu de paume) to the anti-aristocratic revolution began with the takeover of a tennis court. In June 1789, following a month-long deadlock in the States-General over constitutional reform at the royal palace of Versailles, the frustrated Third Estate (the commons), which had been locked out from the formal meeting place by King Louis XVI, declared itself a National Assembly, took over a royal tennis court, and on June 20th took an oath (serment) not to disperse till their demands were met. Three weeks later, on July 14th, a Paris mob attacked the Bastille prison. A nineteenth century impression of the plate first published by Nicolas Ponce in 1792.
